Job description
The Assistant Professor in urbanising rivers and deltas will build the empirical basis to address some typical issues such as flooding, effect of urbanisation on hydrological processes, droughts, salt intrusion, and subsidence.
Within this topic, the successful candidate is given the opportunity to develop an own research line, complementing ongoing global-change-related research at Delft University of Technology.
The key job responsibilities of a successful candidate for this Assistant Professorship include:
- Research: Delivering high quality, internationally leading research leading to improved and innovative observation methods, ideally combining different sources of information (in situ, remote sensing, models) and aiming at improved management of water resources. (Co-)supervising PhD and MSc students is an intrinsic part of the job, as well as disseminating research outcomes, among others via internationally leading journals and conferences.
- Education: Contributing to the organization and teaching of relevant courses in the BSc programmes of Civil Engineering and Applied Earth Sciences and the Environmental Engineering MSc programme. This includes the opportunity to introduce new content and teaching methods matching the candidate’s expertise and interests in the recently renewed MSc programme. Preparing, supervising and assessing of BSc and MSc student projects is part of the position too.
- Valorization: Initiating projects and obtaining funding for new research and/or education projects. We encourage proactive engagement with both private and government sectors, i.e. industry, business and community partners for societal impact.
- Organization: Contributing to organizational and administrative activities and committees within the Department of Water Management and the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences.
Requirements
We are seeking a highly motivated and qualified colleague to join our team as an experimental hydrologist. The ideal candidate will focus on rivers and/or deltas that are characterized by rapid socio-economic development.
To be considered for this position, we expect you to:
- Hold a PhD in a relevant area of science or engineering such as Water Management, Civil or Rural Engineering, Hydrology, Environmental and/or Earth Science, and Applied Physics;
- Demonstrate a proven ability to deliver high-quality research as evidenced by their publication record;
- Possess a good understanding of the higher education environment, including diversity and inclusion values;
- Have the capacity to communicate effectively with peers, students, and stakeholders.
